Artist Biography
Surrounded by the detritus of human existance piled in untidy steaming heaps, Unclejohnny sits eating Fray bentos steak and kidney pie with a piece of celery as a spoon. Broken equipment, magazines and newspapers. Left over scraps of carboot sales, juicy titbits from the best skips in town. Clammy car parts, a treasure trove of forgotten history piled like snowdrifts against the walls of his small room. At the centre of his own universe like everybody, but his life is orbited by castoffs, orphaned toys and a cloud of devoted jackdaws.

Formed in the winter of 2005 Unclejohnny threw themselves into the process of putting together songs written over the previous 4 years by their lead singer Martin Gardiner. Their first gig came in April 2005 supporting Editors at liverpool Academy. Throughout the rest of the first year gigging mainly in leeds Unclejohnny gained valuable experience and have distiguished themselves as tight live performers with a batch of songs that show a variety of musical styles.

We have recorded all of our own material and distributed free demos at all our gigs. This year we are now working on a complete Album which should be available by late summer.
